On Loos Sunday in September (the nearest Sunday to September 25th), we remember the outstanding courage that the Regiment displayed during the Great War, and in particular when the London Irish showed their character and determinationat the Battle of Loos.

There is a Parade at Connaught House on Remembrance Sunday. In addition, the Field of Remembrance outside Westminster Abbey includes a section remembering men of the London Irish Rifles and we attend the opening ceremony on the preceding Thursday.

In recent years, we have commemorated Founders’ Day with a social event at the Freemasons’ Arms in London, close to where the Regiment was founded in December 1859.

In December also, our Northern Ireland branch lead a Remembrance Service at Belfast City Hall to mark the anniversary of the Battle of Stormberg, which took place at the start of the Boer War in 1899.

Other events can be arranged at shorter notice, and you will find updated details here on this web site.
